“ Reminiscence” is a Contemporary/Conceptual sculpture made of concrete during my residency during my residency at Doha Fire Station (2018/2019).
Inspired by an abandoned building part found in Doha, the concrete column is embedded with “sound fossil” recorded across the city. This sculpture represent memories of people across Doha, a city in a constant urban metamorphose. Like a time capsule, “Reminiscence” is a personal reflection about how time and space are in constant motion, in which memories are fading.
This art piece has been created with the support of Doha Fire Station Museum Qatar.
Own by Maktaba Children Library Doha.
